I’ve been experiencing an issue with World of Warcraft where the game freezes randomly, but when it happens, I am unable to close it using any standard methods. I’ve tried various shortcuts like Alt + F4, Win + D, and others, but nothing works. It feels like I have to reset my PC every time. i have high end pc and 32gb of ram ddr5 so cant be that
false, older hardware is more stable because it has been tested more.
and it’s especially false because of
reinstall drivers, update bios, run memtest overnight, hwmonitor to see if you have any spikes in voltage, check windows logs before the time of the crash. it’s you
Trust me it can be that.
Reason is most likely either one or two of the drivers installed your system which aren’t 100% compatible with windows 10 or 11 (mine was GPU drivers) or you’re trying to force the system to use more PCI lanes than CPU and/or motherboard supports (less likely reason, especially if you haven’t changed BIOS settings which allows that at expense of system stability).
If you have latest WQL drivers installed on your system and you are sure your system supports enough PCI lanes or at least optimises that side as it should, then you just have to wait till windows or any peripherial manufacturer you have, releases new update that fixes the issue.
When it comes to PCI lanes, there’s not much you can do other than lower the bandiwdth. Only server and workstation grade hardware supports more than even most expensive and latest consumer ones do.
